    Hi, Louisa - I've never been to Alaska, but my husband and I are coming up for B'con this year. Hope to see you there!

    I just looked it up ... Didn't know the subspecies of my African Gray, but he or she had a red tail. So it must have been a Congo. (I never spent the money to learn the gender of the bird.) Until today never knew there was a subspecies.

    Hi, Louisa, and thanks for the very kind note!
    I'm extraordinarily lucky to be going to my first Bouchercon in gorgeous Alaska, and to be sitting on a panel with the multi-talented and fabulous Jordan Dane and three other friends! I can't wait to get there, and I'm looking forward to meeting you in person!

    Take care and all the best,

    Kelli

    So glad to see Copper -- I thought from the title it was one end or the other of the Copper River! But no, it's this wonderful dawg! I want to read it and hope you'll have it at the book signings at B'con!

    Thanks, Louisa! I'm counting down the days until UNDERCOVER comes out. Nerve wracking and exciting all at the same time. :) Glad you've enjoyed the others!

    Hey! If a author writes a novel in the forest, and nobody reads it, did it make a sound?
    I'm newt, slithering from the shallow end of the gene pool, into the open ocean. Sharks are likely to eat me before the salt water kills me, but who wants a quiet life?

    Louisa,
    The video made me laugh so hard I haven't recovered yet and have to stop typing periodically to wipe my eyes. Wish I'd had that when I was teaching English to sophomores, although it probably would have lost me the job.

    Your last name... is that Christy, the sept of the Scottish Clan Furlquarlson? If so, we are related on my mother's side. On my dad's side, we are a sept of McKinnon. The American Indian is on my Dad's side too.

    Hi Ms. Christy:

    Uh, I *got* to hear more about this dancing bear.

    Your list of authors is similar to mine but I got to know: Do you find yourself absolutely absorbed by one author, and not content to rest until you read everything he/she/they have/has written? I'm going through such a phase with the Preston/Child novels and last year, went through such a phase with James D. Doss and was wondering if anyone else is similarly obsessive.

    OMG Marcy---How cool are you, little Ms Eagle River? So glad to see you here on Crimespace and thanks for adding me. I can't wait to meet you in Alaska at BCon. I've had a few mad mambas with Moose. We'll have to compare Alaska stories.

    Dana might be into the whole whip thang, who knows?

    Did I ever tell you I manned (or womaned) Yentna Station for the Iditaski Race--checking for mandatory gear and hypothermia?

    Simon will be late and won't make the first panel, but he's a sweetie and he'll be on our Bad Boys, Dirty Girls panel...plus he's speaking at one of the remote schools. He's a real trooper.

    And believe me, I didn't forget about drinks afterwards. I've got a dinner with local friends at Petroleum Club though. We haven't set a formal time for that, but I thought we'd meet for drinks right after the speaking gig--like 4ish. Or make a rumrunners or Darwin's run shortly after. And I'll have my husband with me if that's OK. Let me know if you have flex on that. Rhodi and Kelli are supposed to come with me for dinner too.

    Aye, Lassie! With your Da a Cherokee-Scot (Furlqualrson), and mine a Lakota-Scott (McKinnon) and my Ma a Christy like you (Furqualrson), we are cousins for sure. Pure! I ken' at! (It's true, I know it!)

    (Druid culture had an animal as keeper of each emotion. The newt was the keeper of love. It's a running gag in the family to name boys "Newton Love." It goes way back!)

    A-ha! You're an insider. :) Everyone is getting excited about the con now. It is just about upon us. I'm looking forward to some kick-back time to meet the Alaska crew. All my friends who have been to AK say they want to move there. Can't wait to see for myself.

    Great, I sure rite gud. Assistance. *hangs head*

    My ASSISTANT did me a great service. Anyone else suffering from the day after effects? My little tummy isn't happy today and it is killing my brain-speed.

    I lie about my age. A woman who will tell you her age will tell you anything...

    So, Ms. Christy, *adjusts pen over pad* just what would you like to tell me today??

    DH had fun dancing with all the girls. Anywhere there are girls, you'll find him right in the middle of it. I'm trying to figure out who's more trashy, him or me?

    Don't worry, Louisa. I'm always up for a good word fight. Be it over obscenity or just Scrabble.

    Best,

    Copper looks great. As one dog lover to another I can only say that he is one handsome beast!

    Hi Louisa,

    what a small world. Were you or your husband in the USAF by any chance? I only ask because there were some USAF bases in Suffolk during my time in the RAF. As for the pics, yes, they're our little pack of rescue dogs, all previouly abused one way or another. Tilly, the one in my main picture, is my constant companion and I joke that when I'm writing she is my 'assistant', never leaving my side until I get up from the computer. I'm sorry you lost your beautiful dog. My sister had a red setter called Copper who she lost a few years ago. He was a lovely dog too.I hope you'll enjoy 'A Study in Red' if you do obtain a copy on its release. I was really pleased with the advance review. I'm currently working on some extras that my publisher wants for 'Glastonbury' after which I'll be completing the final few chapters of my latest work, 'Pestilence'.It's really good to hear from you and I do hoep to hear from you in the future.

    Hi Louisa,

    I'm glad my deduction was correct, just call me Sherlock! I'm afraid I don't recognise the names you gave me, I left the RAF back in the 70s, finishing my time at Finningley. I was never stationed in Germany. My postings included Hereford, Little Rissingotn, Aberporth and Scampton.
    You have a fine collections of feathered friends. I'm sure they keep you amused and entertained. I once owned two cockatiels.
    Snow eh? Where in the US is Eagle River? I would think the far north at a guess. Our kids would love snow for Christmas, I'd rather have the sun! I'm sure your daughter will love shovelling the white stuff, hehe.

    I spent all day yesterday working with my graphic artist friend in preparing a proposed cover for my forthcoming Rain Books novel, 'Glastonbury'. The man is a genius, an did the covers yo see on my site, and he came up with a great design which I now hope Rain will accept.
    It's very cold here today with a heavy frost, (but no snow). We are going shopping for a few stockinig fillers for the girls today.
    By the way, I love your bear story. I can't compete with that but I did once enjoy a drink in a local hotel with none other than that bear of an actor Oliver Reed!

    Good wishes to you and all your family in snowy Eagle River
    Brian
